Homework Statement



Show that if x=(x1, x2,...) and y=(y1, y2,...) \in \ell2 then The sum from i=1 to infinity of |xiyi| converges

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



since x and y are elements of l^2 then The sum from i=1 to infinity of (xi)2 and (yi)2 both converge, which implies that the sum of the product xy converges

Is this right? and more importantly, is it enough? Thank you for your help.

Restating the problem is hardly a proof. Think about using Cauchy-Schwarz.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
